    1. [WILSON-L] Descendants of Henry Wilson
    2. I purchased a book from E-bay on the descendants of Henry Wilson of Dedham, Massachusetts. I bought the book hoping that it would connect to my Wilson family that I believe started in Worcester, Massachusetts, but I see no connection to my Wilson family at all. It starts with the admission of Henry Wilson to the church in Dedham in January 1640, and states that at the start of the Revolutionary War, descendants of Henry Wilson were firmly established in Franklin, Norfolk, and Worcester Counties in Massachusetts, York County, Maine, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, and Rutland County, Vermont. Twenty Five years later, descendants were also residing in Castine, Maine, Canton, Pennsylvania, and Middlebury, New York. Later, descendants were found in Santa Clara, California, and several locations in Iowa. It is a hard bound book in excellent condition, with a nice index by Wilson surname, and a separate index for spouses. If anyone has a connection to Henry Wilson or one of his descendants, and would be interested in buying this book, they can have it for what I paid e-bay. Harold McDonald Cantonment, Florida

    3. I have found my Benjamin Franklin Wilson (born 1863 in Cameron Illinois) and his wife Evaline (Garrison) Wilson (also born in Illinois in 1868). The died in Olin, Iowa and are buried there. I found Eva's obit and they listed the surviving children (as of 1947) -- they are Mrs. Joe Clay of Olin and Mrs. Farmer Oakes of Butler, MO and one son Lee Wilson of Lawn, Texas. There were grandchildren also. Does anyone know anything about their children or grandchildren? Thanks, Karen Wilson
